This is an awesome video and looks simple. So i take it you probably cant do this with trac-lok diff.. was just thinking there was an S spring in all of em🤷🏼‍♂️

[@zayday6777]

Cool video, good info I never knew about this

[@wyatthale1934]

This is awesome thanks man

[@SqueezeMonger]

Gotta take the shims out, rodger. Im about to do this swap. Thanks for the vid!

[@austinjohnson3787]

I really like the video. I wanna do this on my 94 f150 that has the Ford 8.8. can you let us know how it handles turning? Does it bark tires bad?

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

How much horsepower will this "mini spool" handle?

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

How has it been on the street, specifically I guess low speed turns and backing in and out of parking spots? My Hellstang project is going to be getting a mini spool with 35 spline axles this winter. Its a summer street car/drag and drive event car and you hear mixed reviews. For the price of a mini spool, you cant beat it.

[@elmermiller8896]

They don't like tight turns, especially with drag radials

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

@@elmermiller8896 I figured as much and I do have DRs, but it’s manageable right? You just get some tire scrubs and chirps?

[@elmermiller8896]

@PeakPerformanceEngineering yes it is manageable, I have probably put around 6000 miles on my s10 since then and a lot of it was running errands around town.

[@PeakPerformanceEngineering]

@@elmermiller8896 nice! 6k miles is probably two summers worth of miles for this car and that includes 2-3k miles on hot Rod power tour haha.

Is this same as a crown Vic rear end

[@chasebrunner]

Where did you order it Amazon?

[@elmermiller8896]

Ebay

[@JoseRodriguez-zb7te]

I’m doing the same on my 8.8, did not running the shims not hurt it ?

[@elmermiller8896]

Nope didn't!! Still working flawlessly

[@JoseRodriguez-zb7te]

@@elmermiller8896 thanks ! Putting mine in next weekend

[@rxmarlo2303]

Hows it helding up man?

[@elmermiller8896]

No issues 5000 miles later

[@brianc4551]

Might want to add some gear oil to that rear end before proceeding to doing burnouts.

[@unclequack5445]

I will Lincoln Lock your diff for free I 100% recommended Lincoln Lockers .

[@elmermiller8896]

Thought about welding it but I decided to try this first!
